1. Introduction
===============
F-Zero X, is an extremly awesome and fast game, after playing this game Mario
Kart 64 will seem like a game your grandma should be playing instead of
yourself. The cars, oops the tech people will kill me if i call them cars...the
"hovercrafts" are extremly awesome, the drivers are cool, unlike some of the
dorky racers out there, and the music is addicting! The graphics are OK, the
music as i said before is great and the gameplay ain't half bad either, now onto
the rest of the FAQ.
===========
2. Controls
===========
As with any game, this one has controls too. Huh? you thought it was so
futuristic it was voice activated? Sorry, NOA hasn't made that yet...Anyways
here's the controls.
Move Vehicle: Control Stick
Accelerate: A
Rocket Boost: B (Will Work On 2nd and third laps only)
Brake: C-Down
Change View: C-Right
Look Behind Vehicle: C-Up (Hold down)
Tilt vehicle to the right: R
Tilt vehicle to the left: Z
Bump Attack Left: Z+Z
Bump Attack Right: R+R
Spin Attack Left: R+Z+Z
Spin Attack Right: Z+R+R
=========
3. Basics
=========
Here are the basics of the game for you beginners out there.
After the first lap, you will be able to boost at will(B Button), if you try to
boost before the 2nd lap, it will not work. When you boost, you will gain a fair
amount of speed for a short period of time, however your energy will go down a
bit. If you have no energy left you will not be able to use the boost function
regardless of what lap it is.
If you destroy an opposing car(Grand Prix Only) you will get a yellow star(err,
are we playing Mario 64 now)no no, you don't use these stars, however if you get
5 of them you will get an extra life, if you find yourself struggling try
ramming a few cars.....
Run over those "yellow arrows" on the ground to get a speed burst(similar to
pressing B)
Run over "that pink stuff in the road" to get more energy, the longer you stay
on it, the more energy you get!
Avoid the "light blue stuff" on the ground, it is ice, and it is hard to regain
control of your vehicle after flying over this stuff.
==================
4. Tips And Tricks
==================
Always when you are in a refueling area, use the boost! you will not only get a
huge boost, as always, but when you exit the fueling area you will still have
all of your energy, cool eh? I thought so..
If you are not in first place at sometime(like that's ever happened to me..)then
try and take out whoever is ahead of you by the most, if they die, they get 0
points, and you can cruise to victory......Or you can do this when you are in
first to the person in second, if you feel like really dusting everyone(which is
what i always do)
When going into 90 degree turns, let off of the accelerator a bit, but don't hit
the brake button unless you HAVE to, I.E. you will either crash and burn or fall
off the course.
When going off of jumps, your vehicle will sometimes, well, fly a ways, while
you are in mid-air, your controls are like an airplane, down is up, up is down.
To get more speed off of jumps hold the control stick up before and during the
jump. This works extremly well for me, and it should for you too!

7. Game Review
==============
Tired of granny style go-kart racing that only reaches 60 MPH? Well this game is
for you then, you can cruise along tracks at 1300 MPH with no railings and music
blasting at your ears in this futuristic pulse-racing game. With 30 different
racers, over 30 tracks, and music that will blow your mind, this game rocks!
Graphics - 6
The graphics aren't too great, period. Who cares?? You can barely SEE the
graphics while you racing down the tracks over 1000 MPH. Graphics are not a big
part of this game, get over it!
Sound\Music - 10
The music on this game is the best i've seen for a racing game, i wish all
racing games had music like this! Forget those boring mario tunes your used to
and get ready to rock! With music blasting in stero sound all around you while
goin 1300 MPH you'll feel like your actually racing!
Replay Value - 8
It's a racing game, simple as that, once you've beat it, you've beat it. But
unlike other racing games, this one is still fun to play after you've beaten it!
And with the X Cup it features this game doesn't get boring!!!
Gameplay - 10
The gameplay is the best i've seen in a while for a racing game, 4 player mode,
and 1 player are both great. 30+ tracks NEVER gets old, and the 30 racers you
can select from are all fun to use! If you have a few friends then this game is
possibly the best racing game around!
Overall - 10
Great Speed, Music, Sound, And gamplay. what more can you ask from a racing
game? Buy this game today, you won't be sorry!
